Good morning. Thank you for holding. Welcome to Aon Plc's First Quarter 2017 Earnings Conference Call. At this time all parties will be in a listen-only mode until the question-and-answer portion of today's call. If anyone has an objection, you may disconnect your line at this time. I would also like to remind all parties that this call is being recorded. And that it is important to note that some of the comments in today's call may constitute certain statements that are forward-looking in nature, as defined by the private securities reform act of 1995 [Private Securities Litigation Reform Act]. Such statements are subject to certain risk and uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Information concerning risk factors that could cause such differences are described in the press release covering our first quarter 2017 results as well as having been posted in our website. Now it is my pleasure to turn the call over to Greg Case, President and CEO of Aon Plc.
